Devon Wedding Photographer

Woohoo!

Cornwall Wedding Photographer Somerset Wedding Photographer

Dave and Mary are the ultimate duo that everyone NEEDS as their wedding photographers.

Picking our photographer was something we struggled with but having come across Dave’s website (thanks Facebook ads) we knew he was the right choice for us. The initial call, to the pre-meet to the wedding day - Dave (and Mary!) were fantastic. It was an easy pick once we’d found him.

Easy going, full of life and know what they’re doing. Dave has an understated sales technique that isn’t rammed in your face but fills you with confidence to capture your day perfectly.. and with no stress. I mean, not even my closest clicked on when the nerves kicked in, but Dave did!

Our advice? Book both Dave AND Mary. They won’t disappoint. It’s a really simple choice.

Nicola & George

As an experienced wedding celebrant, I’ve crossed paths with many photographers. Some good, some great, some not quite so great. When it came to my own wedding I knew exactly what I was looking for and as soon as I saw Dave’s work, I just knew it had to be him.

He has a natural talent for capturing candid moments and picking the perfect scene. We couldn’t be happier with our photos - they are well framed, colourful and full of fun. But best of all, he’s the kind of guy that you’d want to be at your wedding, even if he wasn’t the photographer. All our guests adored him and he got the best out of everyone, including the children on what was a swelteringly hot day.

Dave went above and beyond to make sure he got the right shots and his communication before and after the event was excellent. I couldn’t recommend him more highly - if you’re considering booking him, don’t hesitate - snap him up quickly!

Julie & Jamie

Dave was our wedding photographer recently. There will never be enough words to truly describe just how wonderful our experience with Dave has been, right from our very first phone call we knew we had made the right decision. Dave has gone above and beyond for our wedding shoot and kept in regular contact throughout, which was really reassuring. He spent so much extra time picking spots for the best photographs and took us out to do a trial run pre-wedding. Dave creates such a wonderful atmosphere to be in which is what you need when taking professional photos as he just makes you feel so relaxed and calm. The quality of the final photos are beyond comparison, his style of photos are natural and light which is so refreshing after seeing other photographers with such heavily edited photos, the attention to detail is beyond perfect! Our wedding photos were edited and uploaded to our online gallery within a matter of days, during which Dave kept us updated with the editing and uploading progress. There really is no other photographer that will tick all of your boxes I can assure you! Pick Dave Burgess Photography you will not be disappointed!

Mikki & Kyle

Dave was adventurous enough to respond to our query for a wedding photographer. He is truly gifted and has a natural ability to capture incredible photos in all types of lighting conditions and environments. He has an eye for spectacular settings and the pictures he took are simply stunning. He and Mary were so friendly and blended seamlessly with the guests, which allowed them to capture natural pictures of the day and evening fun. We were so lucky to have found him and can’t recommend him enough! In our opinion, he is the best there is

Suzie & Alric

Dave’s photography is second to none, he’s very relaxed and totally went with our flow, which was probably slightly different to the norm. He makes you feel very relaxed and, along with his wonderful partner Mary, has taken some amazing pictures that we will treasure forever. Thank you both for your hard work.

The Sales Pitch

I'm probably a bit of an anomaly in this industry by means of marketing myself.

Hopefully a breath of fresh air for you reading.

I understand that it's not just fantastic photos displayed on my website that'll win you over.

Hypnosis works quite well!

But seriously. A photographer is with you all day long. So picking the right one is a bit of a nightmare.

As you probably gather so far. I'm mega down to earth. I'm a firm believer that if you want to get the most out of your photographer, they need to click with you and your loved ones. Over the years I've come to realise that just being myself and naturally building a rapport with you all throughout your special day creates opportunities to capture those personalities (gotta catch 'em all).

As a master ninja of the night I'm always looking out for that next candid from afar.

Flapping about all over the place with my social butterfly wings, I put people at ease and encourage playing to the camera.

Biggest concern I see? Definitely couples shoot! Do not threat. You can spend as much or as little time as you like and you'll be surprised how easily you'll feel comfortable. I make it obvious that it's okay to be silly and mess up in front of the camera. Those are the best photos with real emotions. And when your nerves are fading i'll sneak some romantic ones in there.

A common question I get at weddings. "Do you know the couple?" Which is such a compliment. I know I've smashed it when I'm mistaken for a friend.

I'm not going to make a song and dance out of anything unnecessarily to look "professional". I want you to be comfortable and enjoy every moment of your wedding day while I capture it.

I was previously a bootneck (Royal Marines) in my past life. Hence I do attract a lot of military personnel, NHS, police etc. Working for the government obviously creates some questionable personalities and you guys feel safe with a former bootneck taking photos? Don't worry. I'm terrible at uploading on social media anyway. But the trust factor & being a real pro (not the "look at me professional") goes a long way.

So what now? If you're thinking "Yeah... Dave's what we're looking for!", get in contact. I cover a massive variation in weddings, and would love to hear your plans, however chilled or crazy they may be. You can have a peek at my photos. Pop on over to the packages and see what I offer. Or read more about me, if that floats your boat.

If you're still a happy bunny and have crawled through my David age 3 website, simply contact me and I'll cross my fingers that I'm available for your big day!

Take it easy and happy engagement to you both!

Enjoy preparing for your big day! It'll go by so fast. Take everything in together.
